Who is eligible to be a mentor partner?
Students must be in good academic standing and in the junior, senior, or graduate year. If you are interested in applying for the program, please contact Gary Strack 561-886-9983 or Reid Conklin 678-296-4921.
How are mentor and mentees matched?
There will be a matching event at the beginning of the fall semester to determine who students would like to be their mentors. Mentees will have the opportunity to talk to each of the mentors in a speed date format where small mentee groups will spend 5-10 minutes with one or two mentors. After the interviews, mentors and mentees will submit their preferences and members will be matched accordingly.
